WIPO and the Development Agenda

Boing Boing …

EFF’s just posted its Day 2 notes from the meeting, and they’re fascinating. Check out all these developing nations coming to accord on how to protect their interests, and then the US and its states like Mexico (which follows the US’s lead all the time at WIPO) just poo-pooing the whole thing as too complicated to even consider. Shameless — and on display for everyone to see. Hilariously, the US continues to argue that the best way to protect developing countries is to put up a website explaining how great more copyright and patent laws are.
